Typewriters.
Before computers, entire factories were dedicated to building machines of astonishing mechanical precision. Ever wonder how they actually made these things?
Not just used them… but manufactured them from the ground up — the castings, machining, type slugs, alignment, assembly, calibration… all before computers.
This project took quite a bit of time to put together, but I’m happy to finally say the book is officially available on Amazon.
The Complete Manufacturing Process of a Vintage Typewriter is a detailed reconstruction of how these remarkable machines were built during the pre-digital era.
If you enjoy typewriters, engineering, industrial history, restoration, or just old-world craftsmanship, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.

THE SMALLEST PART MAKES THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.
Most typewriter issues people notice—slipping, uneven typing, excess noise—don’t start in the segment or the carriage.
They start underneath.
Original rubber feet harden after 50–80 years. They flatten, crack, and lose grip. That changes your machine’s height, alignment, and feel… and suddenly, it’s not typing the way it was designed to.
At Type Space, we see it every day.
That’s why we build replacement feet that restore: • Proper height and alignment
• Stability and anti-slip grip
• Reduced vibration and noise
• Protection for your desk and machine
Simple upgrade. Immediate difference.
Over 200 models available — made to fit, built to last, and easy to install.
